Da Dog

 Here are some pictures of Annie, the dog, mainly for the pleasure and relief of her owners but also for proof to all you nay-sayers that Ben and I are actually caring for a dog. She is so well behaved and go much fun (like a personal toy). Here are some pictures and videos of things we have been doing with her. (These are things that are probably normal to a ‘dog owner’ but since this is Ben and my first dog experience, or pet for that matter, everything is exciting and worth documentation!!)

Annie loves plastic milk (and orange juice) containers.  Here is a video of Ben giving her one. The reaction is not as... BIG as it usually is (I think she was confused because we were both watching).  But it becomes her favorite toy for days (or as long as I can stand having a milk container sitting around the house).

Annie decided to roll in the snow on our hike.  She rolled long enough for me to laugh, pull out my camera and take a picture. It really was funny!!

Annie on the Mapleton Hike

 Annie likes the snow, and snowballs. On our hike this weekend there were little patches of snow that I would randomly scoop up and throw at her.  This is a video of one "snowball fight" that we had.  What you don't see is that between each snowball Annie is running into my legs trying to dump me into the slippery muddy snow!! (Hence me constantly telling her that I am indeed getting her another one...)

Annie had to get a bath after our hike, she was muddy and slushy.  After her bath's we rush her outside because she get's hyper and wants to run. Here is a moment of that 'after-bath-exuberance'.  For the split second that I actually catch her running on camera- you can see pure joy on her face!!
